<p>I am a Junior and I am taking 3 AP classes: AP Biology, AP Language, and AP US History. I have A's in AP Bio and Lang but I have a B in my AP US History. Honestly, my teacher has made it impossible to get an A in her class. I have the highest grade in my AP US, which is a 91, and I am the best essay writer and test taker in the class. The biggest obstacle to get an A in her class is that she refuses to give an A in any of her AP class because she believes it will "encourage" her students to do better. I have a 4.0 GPA but this will be no more by the end of the semester. I would like to attend Ivy League Universities like Princeton and Harvard after I graduate high school. Will this grade hinder my chances to get accepted into these universities or should I not worry about it?</p>
<p>You’re fine. Your application is reviewed in the context of your high school. An admissions officer familiar with the school (as regional officers often are) might already know that your teacher hasn’t ever given anyone an A in an AP class. Your counselor may also be able to include this on the secondary school report.</p>
<p>If no one gets an A, your rank won’t suffer. You’ll be fine.</p>
<p>One B won’t discount you from Ivy League level schools, didn’t discount me. You need a good gpa (which you have) with rigor, good test scores, and great ECs. Can’t emphasize the ECs enough! It’s not all about 4.0s.</p>
